so is a babysitter on option? what about a nice meal and a bottle of wine somewhere if you dont get out much, or an evening at the cinema followed by a meal babysitter permitting, or did you want to give a gift as in personal gift, i like those silver or gold last rolo, i think there dead sweet and romantic

think they sell them at firebox, not seen them anywhere else, maybe a voucher floating about somewhere

remember most places will be double the price on valentines day, i would rather have a chinese/indian take away and have a night out when they dont double the prices

Maybe its personal opinion but if someone got me a silver or a gold rolo for valentines day I would be gutted and "Did you keep the receipt" would be the first words out of my mouth instead of "I love you too".

When our kiddies were little & we didn't have a sitter, OH took the day off & we went out for lunch then to the cinema & picked DS up from school as usual. Is an afternoon out a better option for you?

My OH has already told me what I'm getting - an electric blanket as he's chief bedwarmer & is about to go away with work for 5 months. Domestic maybe, but actually very thoughtful for him. If your OH needs the bed warming there's this:lloydspharmacy.com/web…rue

Got the electric blanket myself, I would advise a dual control as my OH cant stick heat and I cant do without. really good.
